Imagine the increase in development speed of projects that aim to create a true decentralized internet, if the bill passes. The killswitch might not be so bad after all.
- ck2 16y agoUnless they are going to put FIDOnet back online (or is it still around?) you need a backbone for the internet, which means governments can always control and close it at will. The mere fact the US is pursuing such an option is a demonstration of bad government that threatens and controls it's people with FUD.
